Responding to nodes

in reply to RFC: Policies WRT the Obfuscated Perl Contest

Even in light of nodes like Echo off in IO::Sockets, which may or may not be more cleverly asked in the future, I would not like perlmonks to ask me to alter my behaviour beyond what is already there: "use your best judgement".

I would, however, follow any policy perlmonks decides upon, as best I can. I just wouldn't be very happy about it :) , as I don't see how any policy could do any better than asking our monks to just use their best judgement.

It would be also worth noting that the less concealed a question's "questionability" is, the less likely our answers would have a negative affect on some unwary 3rd party.

Following that, more crafy people would probably not need even ask a question, and even if they did, we would not easily suspect them. So, I think we can't do anything to effectively stop any of this, so just answer as you think you should, and things should (IMO) turn out for the best.

Bests,
Gryn
